RealVNC setup in service mode, running on the host computer.

- set to listen to port 5901
- router set to port forward 5901 to my IP address
- remote computer connecting to abc.def.ghi.jkl:5901

Then I get a unable to connect to host: connection timed out error. I have a roommate with RealVNC on the same network, but his port is the native 5900 that RealVNC is setup with. He is port forwarded on 5900 just as I am on 5901. I can actually get to the login screen using 5900 (of course I don't know his pword, but I can get to it nevertheless). Why won't 5901 on mine work then?

i remember there being a problem when i did this. i think because it still uses other ports. so pretty much i am useless to answer this question. i think you may need to forward other ports too.

This may be cheating, but why not put your computer in the DMZ and turn on your windows firewall?

Sorry, I'm klutz. My roommate gave me our network IP while he was on a VPN somewhere else.... *grumble*. No wonder it didn't work, I was trying to VNC into someone else's network. Bleh.

hahah, yep that would do it.

its always nice to use the right ips. lol.


you should look into a dynamic ip service so you can connect to mydomain.com:5901 instead of x.x.x.x:5901.

just a thought
